Sacrifice is overrated

I’d catch a grenade for you
Throw my hand on a blade for you
I’d jump in front of a train for you
You know I'd do anything for you.
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for you baby;
But you won't do the same.

That feeling when you're in love. The time when you go past your comfort zones and exceed your limits- when you want to do everything to make the 50% of your life happier. You get that person what he/she wants, even if it costs you your money, your decency, your honor, and even your life.

But to what point and purpose does sacrificing your own existence mean? To show that your love is exceedingly powerful, that the universe is the limit? Is that the way of showing someone how you truly feel? I think not. Will you, swear on the pain of death, just to fulfill a commitment? Is it even worth it?

For me, these kinds of sacrifices just to please your other half are useless, and completely insane. How could you express your eternal love for someone, when you're already dead? How can you say that because you love the person, you're making them happy, but you are getting hurt in the process? It isn't love if you're just doing it for the sake of the other. Love is something to be shared, not spared.

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

Sacrifice, penance, atonement, oblation, and anything synonymous or whatsoever- that involves your very own self for the sake of someone else's belief- is far too much dull and surprisingly unnecessary. I guess, the only sacrifice that's worth it, is for sacrificing your happiness for the one you love- for his/her own happiness- that, my dear friends, is true love. You do not say "I love you so much, that I would die for you.", but instead, "I love you so much, that I would live for you."
